"Lotus."
It was the voice of the spirit they met at the river, the one that gave her the strange visions. The scenery of the dream changed, flashing back to the night they found the blue light at the river. The sky darkened and trees spread out around them. Before they saw them again. The blue spirit vaguely humanoid in appearance and about the size of a child.
"It's time. . .The river. . .Come. . .Danger."
The dreamscape twisted, distorted. The darkness came rushing in devouring everything and Lotus woke with a start. Breathing heavily she tried to orient herself, just a dream. Just a dream.
She clung desperately to her sister, relieved she had convinced Ashley to share a bed tonight. She did not want to be alone right now. That dream felt wrong, almost too real. Lotus gently shook Ashley trying to wake them. She needed her. Needed Ash to tell her everything was ok.
"Ashley~ Wake up please."
